Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI Overviews provide summaries directly on the search results page, causing organic click-through rates to drop by as much as 61%. But getting cited by AI still builds influence — even without a click. The most effective solution is to build a “split architecture” strategy: purely educational content designed to win AI citations, paired with lean, conversion-focused pages optimized for human psychology. You must understand that you’re no longer just selling to people — you are training the models that the world uses to make decisions. The unspoken contract of…
Before a home falls into foreclosure, the warning signs typically appear months earlier. A borrower first misses a payment or two, landing in the 30- or 60-day delinquency bucket. If financial stress persists, they fall further behind—90 to 180 days past due—and only around then (lenders generally can’t start foreclosure until a borrower is at least 120 days delinquent) does the foreclosure process typically begin.This progression matters because the pipeline of early-stage delinquencies today tells us a great deal about where foreclosure activity is headed tomorrow.Right now, that pipeline is small by historical standards—but it’s growing. Looking at the National…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. For a long time, the fastest way to get a raise was to quit. Companies built that system. Now they’re surprised by the behavior it created. The truth is that when strong employees quit, they usually cite the same reason. It’s not because of the pay, but because they couldn’t see a path forward. When I was building Prepory, I couldn’t afford to be one of those companies. Running a non-venture-backed startup, I couldn’t offer luxurious office perks, signing bonuses or stock options. What I had was a clear answer to one…
AI isn’t all about automating core business functions at Fortune 500 companies. Small and medium-sized businesses can also use AI to optimize, economize, and in some cases compete more effectively against much larger rivals.An Austin, Texas-based vegan cheese-maker called Rebel Cheese used it to level the playing field against a larger supplier. Specifically, the company developed a small system of AI tools to help it claw back overcharges from a major shipping carrier.The company is perhaps best known for winning a $750,000 investment from Mark Cuban, money it used to grow Rebel Cheese into what it says is now a…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. AI is moving faster than most organizations can comfortably process, and leaders feel pressure to act. That pressure creates two predictable reactions. Some teams hesitate and wait for clarity that never comes. Others jump in, chasing tools and ideas without grounding them in what actually matters.I have seen both approaches fail.The leaders who create advantage do not try to eliminate uncertainty. Instead, they use it, turning it into a mechanism for learning, alignment and better decision-making. Over time, I have seen four consistent patterns that separate teams that stall from those that…
As we gear up for the drama and excitement of the 30th WNBA season, it’s hard to believe that two months ago we were in limbo. Prolonged collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations between the league and the players’ association left us all wondering if the season would even happen. Then came resolution, and a massive step forward for the players.When the story broke, most of the attention focused on the numbers: average salaries approaching $600,000 and the arrival of the league’s first million-dollar player contracts. Those milestones deserve to be celebrated. They represent real progress for the league and for…
Key Takeaways OpenAI is fast-tracking the development of its first AI phone, says analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo said that mass production of the phone is now targeted for as soon as the first half of 2027, earlier than his previous prediction of 2028.

The company could begin mass production as early as the first half of…
Yesterday, Giorgia Meloni posted to X an AI-generated photo of herself wearing only lingerie. The Italian prime minister published the image to warn others about how easy it is to create perfectly believable images and videos. Her warning: Never believe anything you see without thoroughly fact-checking it.After all, we live in the end of reality.“Deepfakes are a dangerous tool, because they can deceive, manipulate, and hit anyone,” Meloni said on X. “I can defend myself. Many others don’t.”She is right, even though the image is not technically a deepfake. It’s a fully AI-generated photo that features her face. Unlike early…
This week on How Success Happens, I got to catch up with someone who doesn’t just build brands, he builds universes: bestselling author Soman Chainani, creator of the fantasy series The School for Good and Evil, and now the mind behind the wild new novel Young World. I first spoke with Soman back in 2021, when Good and Evil was being made into a Netflix flick, and since then he has made a few bold moves. He ditched New York City for St. Louis, where his partner has a nearby goat farm, and he took a big step outside his fairytale comfort zone…
Extreme drought, overstretched crews, and a sweeping Forest Service restructuring are converging into what experts fear could be the most volatile fire year in U.S. history.Firefighters keep watch as a California fire burns in 2007 (Photo: David McNew/Getty Images)Published May 6, 2026 05:18PMWildfire season is fast approaching, and with low snowpack, dry conditions, and soaring temperatures across the U.S., experts are warning that 2026 may be one of the worst on record. Combine those extreme conditions with massive restructuring at the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and the result is a powder keg for federal wildland firefighters.“We have a wildfire crisis…
